I ordered a filter through facebook and it arrived within 2 days via the free shipping option. It was packaged well and includes a manual plus extra round filters that fit into the main filter. Fast shipping, the filter seems like good quality product, I will have to wait to use it but it seems good for now.

As an older avid backpacker, I am always looking for a lighter, simpler, more efficient way to enjoy the back-country. For years I have used all the multitude of Sawyer water filters and recent Hydro-Blu filter and they all work well.
The problem with the Sawyer filters is clogging and diminished water flow and the need for couplers to connect to my water bottles. Back-flushing can be a pain requiring a separate Monojet syringe or an inefficient Smartwater bottle tip.
Salado has done an very clever thing in designing a disposable pre-filter to slow down the clogging, and with a removable end-cap back-flushing in rarely needed and has both threads and tubing tip for multiple connection choices.
The Salado "Neptune Series" water filter is now my go-to choice for all my backpacking trips from weekenders to weekly trips in the Sierras. IMO the best 20 bucks spent!

I received then but I haven't used them yet. I thank you for sending them in a timely manner.

Bought this filter for a short camping trip so me and my wife could have a portable water system during a longer hike that was next to a stream. Worked perfectly and had zero issues. We were able to save a good amount of weight in our day packs not having to carry around bottled water.

Well priced quality product; promptly delivered. :)
